Severely disappointed...to say the least. I was in need of salon services for my friends who were coming in town to be in my wedding.I was looking for a higher end AA salon (it's a shame that there are very few in SA) I was referred to the salon by a family friend, who loves the place. The result...average-below average service with higher end salon prices. The staff was cold & unwelcoming. Then, by the time my bridal party got to me (aprx 1 hour after getting it done), their hair was frizzy! I then had to pay the stylist that was on location for me to restyle their hair!
I love Mane and Glory!! They do such a fabulous job with my hair. I am in the process of going natural and I am not the person to wear it looking natural so they get it straight without the chemicals. I wasn't going to go natural but the transition has been so easy because of them. I have been getting my hair done there for over a year now and I don't know what I would do without them. If you live in San Antonio or visit San Antonio go over to Mane and Glory and get your hair done.
Mane & Glory is full of experienced and talented stylist. You go there not only for a great end style but also education about healthy, maintainable hair. The idea of African American hair being straight and full of body without a relaxer was almost unheard of...until I experienced it myself. The ceramic phusion process that the stylist at Mane and Glory specialize in is phenomenal. Mane and Glory is my weekly spot. There is nothing like being styled by one of the Best Melvin! Thanks to Mane and Glory....my healthy, chemical free, thick, full Mane is my Glory!!
Awesome shampoo techs for a weekend client who travels often and appreciates the ability to make a appointment on line, call in for a last minute appointment or get 'worked in' to a busy day full scheduled. The M&G team is fun, outgoing, personal and educated. The M&G team collaborates and doesn't mind do what ever is necessary to make you feel comfortable. My stylist is Melvin & he rocks! The atmosphere is friendly and the facility offers complimentary bottled water and Wi-Fi.
Atlanta-New York-San /Antonio
The best natural hair care for women of color especially African American women. Terre Wafford and the stylists at Mane and Glory have revolutionized natural hair care. Whether you are into wearing your hair in it's natural curl pattern or are a person like me who enjoys the carefree bounce of a straight look, you will find it all at Mane and Glory. Their ceramic phusion technique leaves your hair soft, silky, sexy and chemical free. That is right no relaxer or "hair-crack" needed. Take it from a Sister who formerly relaxed her hair bone straight every five week. I am now "relaxer- free" almost three years and counting. No more breakage, no more scalp burns, an no need for a flat iron. Once these stylists treat your hair you will enjoy healthy hair that looks the way you always imagined: luxurious, long, straight with body, bounce and movement that will have you turning heads. Contact them today and change your hair life for the better forever! I love you Mane and Glory.
My advice ladies is that you clear your calendar for this pamper session. Never ever be rushed when getting a treat like this. Your beauty is far too priceless for a rush job. I want the stylists at Mane and Glory to devote the necessary time to every client so they will adore the results as much as I do. This treat and treatment is well worth the time and ladies we deserve a little extra time being pampered when we do and give so much to others.
See you at Mane and Glory...shout outs to Terre, Melvin, Pepper, and Lisa!
Ms. Valarie Fluellen
If all you care about is "fly hair" then stop reading! – Where is "Tabitha's Salon Takeover" when you need it?! It is apparent that Mane and Glory is on the cusp of greatness, but is in need of a major overhaul! My service, shampoo, steam treatment and ceramic phusion on natural hair, should have taken a maximum of 2.5 hours. I WAS IN THAT SALON FOR 5 HOURS and I had an 1.5 hr WAIT UNTIL I WAS SAT AT THE SHAMPOO BOWL. I stayed only because I had an event to attend the next day. However, I did miss my class due to the salon's lack of time management. Another customer was in the salon from 11:30 am to 9 pm! Her stylist was so behind that she called her husband to bring their daughter to the salon to get her hair styled as well. No water, no food, for far too long!!!!!!!! Black salons are known for this type of inconsideration, but I have never given my business to such an establishment, until now.
Two hours after I checked in, I received an apology from the receptionist that they were short staffed. I should have been told that crucial piece of information when I checked in and then I could have made an informed decision to stay or leave.
I made my appointment online and was pleased that Mane and Glory appeared to be a progressive establishment. The online booking system gives an option for "new client," which I selected. This should have immediately flagged me in the system and notified the stylist. I had questions about my hair damage and only saw the stylist when I made a request while at the shampoo bowl (2 hours after checking in). I should have seen the stylist first for at least 5 minutes. It's just that simple. She acted as if her only job is to style hair. WRONG ANSWER! A stylist's job is to partner with clients to create a win-win dynamic by sincerely asking/answering hair questions, educating clients and styling hair. My stylist was not interested in having a basic conversation about my hair and giving helpful feedback/solutions. She was more concerned with talking to co-workers, treating her clients like cattle, checking off a list and getting everyone in and out of the salon.
DECOR: Not as polished as I thought it would be; Unfinished floors; improper seating for hair steamers (a grown woman should not have to "climb" on top of pillows and balance in position to use a hair steamer)
STAFF: Not knowledgeable about products that harm natural hair (i.e. parabans, sulfate), simple tricks like using cold water to close the hair cuticle in order to banish fly away hair, and does not explain processes to new clients who are trying new services for the first time.
PROS: I was not drenched in water at the shampoo bowl, steam treatment results, and the look/feel of my hair as I walked out of the door.
Friendly, Professional Atmosphere and Great Hair Results – I am natural and usually keep my hair in braids. My edges were looking horrible indicating that I needed to give my hair a break. I wanted to relax my hair because I didn't know how I would manage while in army uniform. I decided to book an appointment with Mane and Glory upon a recommendation from a classmate in IPAP. I was a little hesitant because of the one bad review but I was willing to give the shop a try.
My worries were certainly needless! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the receptionist, Pepper. She saw my hair and instantly informed me of another option besides the relaxer, a ceramic phusion. This option allows me to have straight hair or revert back to natural if I desired! I was still skeptical and she offered me a discount on a relaxer if I decided I did not want to keep getting a ceramic phusion. So I agreed.
The shop was very clean, comfortable and very stylish. All of the stylists were friendly and professional. I was included in their conversations, even though they did not know me. I was also educated about my hair the entire time. My stylist, Lisa, changed my Celie (from Color Purple) hair to a bouncy, shining, low maintenance hair style! I was VERY impressed and I intend on coming back regularly. This will be especially true when they start offering eyelash extensions!
Kudos to Mane and Glory!
VERY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE – I am a Cosmetology Instructor and I have been getting my hair done at Mane & Glory for a few months now and the experience has been exceptional. My hair is 100% natural and after I walk out of Mane & Glory several people of all ethnicity want to know how my hair is so shiny, healthy, and full of life. My husband cant keep his hands out of my hair after I get it done. ( Everyone knows thats a no no :} )
I have had my hair styled by Terre and Melvin and they both do an awesome job. I worried about not fitting in because they have so many regulars but when I am there they include me in there "debate of the day" and they keep me laughing and smiling the whole time I am there. Terre also has other stylist there like Sybil and they are awesome too.
For the ladies who had a bad experience I am sorry but that just leaves a slot open for me to get in and get my hair styled by a professional and friendly staff. From the time I walk in, to the shampoo bowl, to the styling chair, and out the door I am welcomed and invited back.
Thank You Terre, Melvin, Sybil, Peppa, and staff of Mane & Glory for making me feel beautiful.
Mane and Glory is Worth the Wait! – Terre and the entire Mane and Glory staff are wonderful. I did not mind having a week-day appointment, but I definitely plan on being one of the 'regulars'. She is patient and works on maintaining healthy hair, incorporating the latest hairstyles. I was welcomed immediately and enjoyed the salon's 'debate of the day':) Terre is professional, patient and is good at what she does. I give this salon five stars!
Not sure what the complaints on decor were, but the salon was immaculate, tasteful and calming. Anyone from TX knows there are some bad areas in every city and this is not even close to being one of them.
Shikera--Houston client
Best Stylist In San Antonio, TX – I have been going to Terre for years she is in deed very professional, friendly, and has prefected her craft. Terre is current with the latest styles and techniques needed to maintain healthy hair. Yes, it is true that Terre is currently the only stylist in her salon at this present time, so due to this and respect for her clients she does not double/over book her clients. So, if you are business minded you will know that you cannot give everyone a Saturday appointment. As the previous writer stated if you want to receive a great hair style in a relaxing environment Terre is the stylist for you. However, if you need a psychologist you might need to shop around because she does not specialize in that area. Love your work Terre.

About MadCow
Yes, the government has too much access to my information to create anything about me.
That's because the government has said the people can't read them, and that's what we get for having a big government. The people should be allowed to read everything the government creates. It's OUR government after all.
Unfortunately for the government, they can't claim any kind of copyright on these as they're government documents. They belong to the people.
What a truly thought provoking, intellectually non-stimulating response.
That's not how it works. The studios, along with you, made the INITIAL claim. Therefore the burden of proof lies with you FIRST. Not to mention there was an article a while ago that did actually show the numbers that the studios completely manifested.
I find this response quite curious and deluded. Content industries have been ripping off artist and committing questionable accounting practices LONG before piracy has been around.
We really should coin the phrase "The Carreon Effect" as more and more people seem to being doing this lately...
While you state you haven't taken a position, you essentially have taken a position by calling it "murder". Murder, by most people's understanding, is an illegal killing of a person due to whatever reason. While the kid was in fact killed, we still don't have any proof as of yet that is convincing enough to say "Yes, it was cold blooded murder." It could legitimately be self defense in some manner. I find it unlikely that we'll even discover what truly happened in this particular case due to abysmal police investigation at the time.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Once you have people with this kind of power there becomes the problem of not "Can they be bribed" but really "How much will it take to bribe them?". I have a suspicion that content owners and people hailing the take downs finally found the "how much" to get ICANN to bow to their whims.
Why do you insist that Mike wants everything for free when almost all of his posts he makes demonstrates a way to make income. If someone truly wanted everything for free I seriously doubt he'd be giving suggestions on how to monetize this new market you and your posse seem completely incapable of understanding.
Your gratuitous "gratuitous", "individual", "opinion", and "disappointing" to the expression of an individual is disappointing.
A comment made in good faith deserves more than an impertinent response.
Lol, I can't wait to see if they're successful at that!
I find it very interesting none of them have come out of the woodwork to comment on this. Interesting indeed...
Example is bit torrent. It is pretty much a given that a large percentage of the traffic in bit torrent is pirated material.
Please CITE YOUR SOURCES. You shills continually come in here, demanding sources, laughing at every outside source given, and continually dodge/avoid every opportunity for you to actually legitimize your false claims.
We don't NEED people (ANYONE) writing legislation for ANY content owners/creators/sellers/copiers/etc...
rather than using your single copy as source material for however many pirated copies you see fit
Please cite your sources proving WE do this.
I'm still waiting to hear his response about the implications of unsecured WIFI infringement as well.
So you admit to not even checking the second link then, even though it IS a French Ministry of Justice document. Well done. Just because a document is posted on an opinion page doesn't mean it's not official. That's like saying if the RIAA posted a document from congress it's ok for me to completely ignore it because the RIAA website WILL be an opinion website.
I also note that you're still responding to these message about the sources but you're completely ignoring my issue about wireless router WIFI implications. You've had several minutes to explain how that is supposed to work and you've tactfully ignored it.
Right, so the second link (which is from d1) is a completely made up document that's not really from the French Ministry of Justice, is that what you're attempting to claim?
Nice job completely ignoring the other and longer point I made though. Good to know that you're trying to have a real discussion about the real issues here.

Hi there,
I'm new to photoshop, trying to teach myself.
I have a photo that I'm trying to edit, dark circles and a quite a bit of freckles.
Trying to keep it natural with the freckles and at the same time remove the dark circles??
Can someone help
How about starting with telling us what version of photoshop you have and what operating system your using?
Windows 7 photoshop CS5
Most of these tools can be applied to a new blank layer above your image. This will allow you to change your mind, or to reduce the opacity to reduce the effects of the tools.
Example when you brush out the dark circles under the eyes, reducing the effect by dialing down the opacity will bring back some of the original image, allowing the eyes to look more natural.
Most of the freckles can be removed with the spot healing brush, larger areas can be removed with the patch tool. Switching between the two tools will take care of most of your work.
Most important work on a back up image, that way any mistakes can be corrected. If your a beginner place the copy of the image in another directory, so you don't accidentally save over it.
And last but not least, have fun and play around with the tools, see what they do, then go to work.
Yes, using the tools of correction. Is available in Photoshop Cs3/Cs5.

" It took my son a couple of weeks to adjust to this carrier and he eventually liked being in it. I found it very helpful at first; the hands-free capability.

This is good news, since the last thing Israel needs at the moment in its quest to overcome its enemies is a ´´moderating influence.´´All the ingredients are in place now for Israel to liberate both itself and the Palestinians from the toxic scourge of Hamas.First, Israel´s magic missile-defense twins, Iron Dome and Magic Wand, have proven effective, while the surgical accuracy of its offensive missile technology has once again amazed the world.Second, Hamas´s principal supporter, Mohamed Morsi of Egypt, is too busy defending himself against torch-weilding mobs to pay attention to events in Gaza.And, third, we learned last week that no matter how many Hamas buildings and officials Israel´s missiles take out, the world´s media will declare Hamas the victor of any Israel-Hamas wars, complete with continual TV images of delirous Palestian mobs celebrating their victory.Which means that Israel can now wipe out Hamas without being accused, as usual, of being a big bully picking on the little 98-pound weakling Palestinians since the 98-pound weaklings will be declared the winners.Let´s hope Ehud Barak has the moderately happy retirement he so richly deserves.

Applying a lot of offensive pressure with just two mons is very useful for balanced and bulky offense teams where you need to multitask team slots.

For the Love of Fashion
That is where I stand with regards to fashion, and I actually hope it's because of the fact that I am not in absolute love and awe of fashion that people do read my blog, because I am able to take a step back sometimes and distance myself from it all (and, of course, I'm an industry outsider anyway); the blogs I find depressing are the ones where everything is 'OMG WOW FIERCE,' or where the blogger is most interested in the exclusivity that surrounds fashion, and uses it as a way to be snobbish and to elevate themselves.
I'm curious: do you love fashion? (I'm assuming yes, or you probably wouldn't be reading this) And if so, to what extent, and why?
I'd be interested to know… *everyone* seems to love fashion in these internet-crazy days, but I wonder what the most common responses would be if you asked people why? Loving fashion is almost a default setting for lots of people. It's like the 'done thing': not something you would ever consider questioning. I think I am very lucky with my readers (at least with those who comment – don't know much about the rest of you!) so I'd love to know what you think is so good about fashion, because I'm sure you'll give a more enlightening response than, say, commenters from certain other blogs who never stretch much beyond 'fierce, love it.'
There are some things I hate about fashion too, a few of which I'll list because I'm in that sort of mood:
When fashion's obsession with celebrity goes wrong: Peaches and Pixie Geldof front row at every show… WHY? Lily Allen as the face of Chanel? Give me a break. Yes, she scrubs up well, but Chanel really deserves better than this. Kanye… enough said.
The crassness fashion seems to attract (or promote in some people). Here's an example:
This is a comment on a rather good Sartorialist photo, which is of an interesting and unique look. Aside from the odd comment, it's quite obnoxious how some people have started putting their comments in bold, as if what they have to say is more important than everyone else. A great big, fat 'look at me' for all the wrong reasons. Making matters worse, this is the first comment too. I've noticed that this guy always comments in bold on various popular blogs, and every time I see it, it makes me about a million times less inclined to visit his blog.
It gets me down when people think that fashion has to involve being egotistical and self-absorbed and looking down on others (this is of course just as rife in the 'real' world as online). I don't mean to single out that commenter in particular: loads of people are even worse.
The constant deluge of emails from PRs. Look, I know you've got a job to do, I know you're being paid a respectable salary to promote brand x, but the emails get me down, they really do. I'm a blogger, I don't play the PR game. The fact that some nondescript mid-market brand is having a 30% off mid-season sale online only next week could hardly be of any less interest to me. Fun Fact: Google Mail search tells me that there are currently 140 emails in my inbox from PRs which start with 'I/we love your blog…' I love it when they say that, when the brand/product which they're promoting is something which I've previously said bad things about (really bad things in some cases)… obviously they've just got an intern to Google 'fashion blogs' or something and have never actually read a word of my blog, but, you know, nothing like a bit of misplaced false flattery to generate some coverage (or not).
Bad quality and bad service. As I posted recently, one of the reasons why I love Prada is because of the amazing quality and the great repair service they offer if something does go wrong. We have come widely to accept terrible quality and service in the 'fast fashion' sector of the market (with some exceptions, like Uniqlo), but when this starts to creep into the higher end of the market it is just depressing.
I was in the Topman flagship recently, looking for slim fitting black trousers which wouldn't break the bank. I took various pairs to the fitting room, waited while the fitting room assistant made a big thing of counting the number of items I had (that's right, don't take my word for it, imply that everyone is a shoplifter instead), felt annoyed that there was no seat in fitting room, or anywhere to put my bag other than on the dirty floor (which is also where their trousers ended up, because the rail was ingeniously designed not to accommodate coat hangers), and then I glanced at the price tag of one of the pairs, saw £290, and nearly had a fit. I could never bring myself to spend anything like that amount in Topman, good as they are for certain things: if I was going to spend £290 on trousers I'd be down to Prada in a flash, and frankly anyone who'd give that sort of money to Topman, given the service and experience they offer, would be a fool. It gets better though: obviously at that price they weren't own brand but rather were 'designer at Topman,' by a designer called James Long. Even if you didn't balk at spending that sort of money in a mass-market shop with inattentive service, you could surely at least bank on quality at that price? Wrong. A closer look at the tag revealed they had been marked down to £150 because the suede knees on both legs were ripping right off (quite unintentionally), on one side flapping down and leaving bare knee exposed. Topman trying to sell trousers for £290? The fact that the £290 James Long trousers were falling apart before they'd even left the store? And still £150 reduced? It just beggars belief sometimes.
So here's the question: do you love fashion, and if so how much and why? And what particular elements of fashion do you like and dislike the most?

I really liked this post, it was really insightful :).ReplyDelete
Anyway, to answer your question - my favorite part about fashion is the ability it gives its users to transform, and I guess how it can sometimes turn dreams to reality, if only temporarily.
And I love the aesthetic and creative part of it, how designers can be so innovative despite the restrictions the human body puts forth.
I do love fashion, but I can't say it's my life like others do. It's just something I enjoy.
The things that bother me about the fashion world is that people get away with half-a**ed clothing and sell it to people. I get that a huge part of fashion is an financial thing, but I wish it weren't. It's an art and should therefore be executed like other arts - thoughtfully. Even if they were just designing for a low-key, cheap and run-of-the-mill brand for the masses, they should still try their best to make things as aesthetically appealing and creative as possible, especially since art is not restricted by material but by innovation of the creator...
Before I answer your question, I have to have a little moan about Topshop too. I struggle to see how they think that even £90 is an acceptable amount of money for something half finished in a sweatshop. I remember the days when Topshop was rubbish and only good for t-shirts. Then suddenly, they get a makeover, the Fashion Mafia cash in on it and boom, £100 for a pair of shoes made out of cardboard and Early Learning Centre poster paint. In a way, it's worse than Primarni because it tries to think it's innovative when most of the time it is just disposable highstreet.ReplyDelete
I digress. Getting round to answering your question, fashion is a thing I can take or leave. Whilst I've dabbled in the odd pair of Louboutins and I'll pick up a Vogue or Elle every now and again, it isn't a major part of my life. I don't let fashion (or heaven forbid street style) dictate how I am going to dress/look/behave, nor do I wait for the latest whatnots of thingymabobs.
Like you say, I like the escapism that fashion brings, the unachievable aesthetics, designers who treat their clothes like art and not must haves with high street rip-offs in mind. I enjoy reading your blog because it's a little bit like reading critical theory. It isn't just a series of mindless "outfit of the day" pictures or "check out X's latest collection". It's well thought out, well written and quite frankly it makes me wish I were a little more interested in fashion so I could keep up with more of the things you write about! I should probably tip you off about a friend of mine, Josefin Strid, she designs conceptual pieces that can stand as art in their own right.
and sorry, that last comment sounded a little bit like a plug. I guess it was, but more a thought process. It is 2am in my defence.ReplyDelete
Honestly I hate the whole idea of fashion Oscar Wilde and his brief comment on fashion purely completes the whole idea of fashion.ReplyDelete
Don not get me wrong I love garment design I study it but I hate the who excess, the constant waste and pettiness that has now become "fashion"
As a whole we should look towards individual expression clothes that really define us rather than things that look nice and are "trendy" and soon become the defining thing about you a soulless, pointless crapstick, of ugly materialism
very interesting and i guess to be honest this subject doesn't get asked much. i guess i fell into fashion by accident, as my older sister studied textiles at uni and she taught me to sew when i was about 12. after school i felt totally lost as i knew i was pretty alright at art but was never really allowed to do what i wanted.ReplyDelete
so anyway, got terrible grades as i was not academic, what should of happened at school was say i got a C in art but an D/E/G in maths/english instead of them trying to get me to improve my maths/english they should have tried to push me at the only thing i was good at, art, to get it up to an A. if that makes sense.
anyway, found textiles at college and fashion was a natural progression for me. theres lots i love and lots i hate but the thing i enjoy the most about fashion is to look back at influences and history of designs collections and their heritage ect. also the links to art/graphics/sculpture ect.
on the topman front, please don't think to bad of the workers who check how many garments you have taken in. as a topman working i can tell you we HAVE to do this for secruity reasons and if we don't and someone see us, were in trouble. though i can't excuse the manner in the way they do it of course, i can tell you know, my customer service is not compromised for anything/one as i know how i want to be treated so i give 100% the same.
those trousers need a wide birth too, gee wizz.
i'm glad you did this post.
Posts like these make you my favourite fashion blogger. It's so refreshing and wonderful to actually read something insightful for a change. I have to say, that Topman thing sounds absolutely unbelievable... I wouldn't pay over 100€ at a chain store ever, except maybe at COS.ReplyDelete
To answer your question, I guess I do love fashion. I live in Finland which is not very international nor stylish, and fashion gives me the perfect escape. Reading a foreign fashion magazine and keeping up with the latest shows and ad campaigns on the internet makes me forget my surroundings and gives me inspiration to actually do something with my life. And not to sound totally sad and pathetic, but fashion also gives some sort of substance to my life.
That said, I wouldn't want to do fashion as my career. Of course it would probably be fun, challenging, etc but still so superficial and honestly, a bit dumb. Also I don't think I could manage with all the prissy and bitchy people around.
It gets me down when people think that fashion has to involve being egotistical and self-absorbed and looking down on othersReplyDelete
sooooo agree!!! people think im self righteous bc of the way i dress, not the case at all!! oh well...

I love fashion. Although at the end of the day, it is just a candy feast for my eyes.ReplyDelete
I love fashion's devil-may-care attitude towards the masses. Fashion industry's biggest players know that the masses lap up everything they produce, including ugly patchwork bags(read: Louis Vuitton etc) and shorts that cost way beyond its production cost, just to name a few. But true craftsmanship, design and style are what I truly appreciate! I don't care if it's this season's trends or last, as long as it suits me, is comfortable and won't tear apart within months (or a year/years), I'm a happy consumer!ReplyDelete
I agree that not everything about fashion is agreeable to my terms. Just the other day when I purchased this gorgeous Alexander Mcqueen scarf, all seemed to go well til the last bit, which is when I made my payment. The sales person was really friendly, showing me the ways to tie the scarf etc. I was awed by such attention, but what I didn't like was when I had to run out to get cash from the ATM and the other salesperson who was handling the purchase gave me a look! A condescending one! How very rude! This is the part that the fashion industry needs to sobre up to. That not everyone who dresses down are on drugs (etc)!! But other than that, it was a good experience!
A wonderfully loaded post.ReplyDelete
I think there has been much talk about why fashion is important in the comments, so I won't dwell on that too much.
I'd like to dwell on the ridiculous comment spamming that drowns the whole fashion blog world. I really try to not even look at the comments on the Sartorialist's site. They are more often than not, superfluous and vapid. Vapid is actually just the right word.
99% of the comments on the post you mentioned are one liners, about 30% of those have links to their websites. For the intellectual discourse they are adding, they might as well just have left their link address. What is possibly even more scary is that I am sure The Sartorialist must filter those messages quite carefully, so I can only imagine what comes in before filtering.
This takes me again to a topic discussed on Hapsical earlier in the year (might have been last year) about bloggers and their content. I think that those out there that are just feeding a torrent of news feeds scoured from other blogs and news feeds are the bane of the fashion blogger world, they add nothing, they are fickle. These types of blogs (they can hardly be termed that) add to the superficial image that fashion seems to have for the masses. I have actualy had a few such blogs on my Google Reader list and decided that enough is enough.
Wow that was quite a rant, but I'm gald I've gotten it off my chest, because it really is my biggest issue with the online fashion news world [which is the future of fashion news].
Now I can go to sleep.

i almost never stop and read any fashion articles on blogs. and something about this has caught my eyes.ReplyDelete
people do love fashion for the wrong reasons. especially those who are avid label followers (they are clearly not fashion lovers), whatever lv churns out, they buy. also those who avidly follow trends or those who make snide comments about others outfits. they think they love fashion but they don't.
i never understand topshop anyway. i know a few topshop designers and its just grim when you're an aspired designer and your contribution is heavily played down. whats more, if you ask them to design an item then you might as well respect the complexity of their creations. but no, almost 90%of the collaborations yield disappointing cuts and factory churn out goods that are not dissimilar to the rest of the shop floor - apart from the much costlier pricetag.
also... some stuff at topshop are primark quality? so... whats the point?
fashion can be appreciative or expressive. i recently overheard one of the writers at the newspaper i write for damnning fashion reporters for not being dressed up enough. ie finger points to sarah mower or hilary. these two are the best reviewers you can get out there. that comment is reflective of what of many fashion packs are like - shallow...
enough moaning, but i think something about this article has struck a nerve. i share the same vibe :)

This is an excellent question that fashion lovers should ask themselves regularly; the answer has a way of evolving as time passes and it also forces us to push past the superficial "I like pretty things" type answer.ReplyDelete
I love fashion because it is a unique intersection of culture and commerce. I certainly appreciate the craftsmanship (feeling the weight of a heavy wool or delicate stitching on a dress can be very awe-inspiring), innovation and other aspects you and previous commenters have expounded upon. Fashion also serves as an interesting social barometer, because, as you noted, *everyone* loves fashion. Becauase of the pervasive interest in fashion, one can get this panorama of society that includes a wide range of demographics. Whether this panorama takes the form of fresh trends (e.g., inspiration from youth culture) or sales per square foot, it's amazing that we can take this little slice of our society and somehow get a greater sense of the whole.

Since benches are often a source of leaks and compromise the integrity of a shower, I suggest you look at a couple of products: Kerdi from www.schluter.com. It will make building the shower and bench much easier and ensure a nice, waterproof, long-lasting shower. A monument (solid) bench is one way to do this, but another is the Better Bench from www.innoviscorp.com. I've personally used both, and like them.

Hey everyone,
So first off, let me just say that I know next to nothing about web design. I've been following a Dreameaver CS5.5 how-to guide from thesitewizard.com, which was actually very helpful. I've got the site up and running (it's basic but it works), and I've decided that I want to add a picture slideshow on a couple of the pages.
An example of one such script would be http://usuaris.tinet.cat/mark/mis/
From what little I gleaned, there was something about putting some code in the header, and adding some sort of tag in the body and...I dunno. I got lost pretty quick. If anyone can provide some noob-friendly advice, I'd really appreciate it.
On a sidenote, I discovered in Dreamweaver's Insert menu the Media | SWF option, which initially was fantastic and seemed to solve my problem, but I then realized that iOS doesn't support flash. The slideshow needs to be compatible with iOS devices.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

Nancy, I love you for responding so quickly...thank you.
So I used the Widget Browser and downloaded the jQuery Cycle Widget. I opened the widget in the browser, configured it the way I want, then used the drag and drop function to put it into Dreamweaver.
At this point, I have no idea what to do. I tried inserting the images into the blue blox that came up, but they just showed up as individual pictures. Also, there are several sample pictures that came with it. Can I delete those?
Sorry, remember I'm a total amateur.
Ok scratch all that. I started over, tried it again and it works. Now I have another fun little problem. I'm using the Dreamweaver "Synchronize sitewide" command which has been working beautifully, but now I'm getting an error message. It skips the jQuery scripts every time, says there's some kind of error.
Ok, not sure why Synchronize Sitewide wasn't working. I ended up trying Site | Put, and it worked. Thanks again Nancy.
To do advanced things in DW, you must de-mystify code by popping the hood.
Below is the relevant HTML. Swap images with your own.

 you can add blocks of text instead!

Then upload page, scripts and images to your remote server.
Nancy O.
Well fortunately, I was able to accomplish that without going into the code. Deleting the sample images locally and adding my own, then inserting them via Dreamweaver worked the second time around. I must have inadvertently screwed something up the first time.
Maybe I can push my luck with one last question. When I hover the mouse over the slideshow, a little dialogue pops up with "caption for image x," where x is whatever number picture is being displayed. I'd really prefer for nothing to display at all, but I would settle for at least being able to customize the pop-up to something specific.
Other than that, it's working great. Thank you again.
You just need to remove the title attribute.
What's the link to your website so we can take a look in our browsers?
In code, change
title="caption for image1"
title="something more meaningful..."
Glad you got it working.

You may be able to leave the entire joist alone, 100% intact.
1. The tub has both an overflow hole and a drain hole. Pipes under the tub can be routed so that the drain pipe goes down either right under the overflow OR right under the drain. That gives you a couple inches leeway right there before you read on. You may have to buy a fitting or two. Call the tub mannufacturer and look on their web site.
2. You can also send the pipe down through the floor anywhere else too. In the space between the overflow and the tub drain, or anywhere else.
3. Tailpiece can go sideways too.
You can send the tub tailpiece horizontally ("sideways") instead of vertically ("down"), right past the overflow standpipe, and then route it the way you want to after you get far enough away from the joist, turning down through the subfloor where it works best.
4. Zigzag offset; won't cut much of the joist.
You can buy offset drains, that go 45 degrees through your subfloor and that barely need to cut the joist. Many are 2" in diameter, made for shower drains. You can also build your own using "street 45" fittings if you want to, and then you could stay with your 1.5" diameter pipe. Copper fittings take less space than PVC; that may be useful, if you connect to the tub tailpiece with copper to get through the floor, and then once through you adapt to PVC (assuming your house has PVC drains). Search on "street ell" and "Street elbow", here and on the web in general. Plan, calculate, measure including the thickness of your subfloor and the height of open space under the tub too.
BTW, the distance you are talking about, may be the OTHER distance in a flat plane and not the distance halfway between a 32 inch wide tub. This distance is the most important one. It is always normal for the drain to be halfway between two sides, when the tub is symmetrical on that axis.
So, the distance that is always unknown and will vary from tub to tub, is the number of inches to the end wall, not side-to-side between the two sides that are 32 inches apart.

Should he kill it or -- as his wife Vicki implored- move it outside peacefully?
While that debate raged on Facebook and John endured some gentle on-air ribbing from WBEN's Susan Rose, the decision was made late Thursday afternoon.
"Don't let that sucker get out!" Ever so cautiously the critter was captured in a glass canister, and moved safely outdoors. SEE THE VIDEO AT LEFT, and below (Note who it is really carrying the monster outdoors)
But what was it?
Dr. Linda Rayor of Cornell University's entomology department looked at these pictures and laughed " You call that large?"
Rayor, the host of "Monster Bug Wars" on the Science Channel, wrote the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation's brochure on spiders in New York State and says John's nemesis is likely a Wolf spider, common in New York State, but not as dangerous as it looks.
Exclusive WBEN Audio

Linda Rayod, PhD.
Cornell University
"Wolf spiders are named for their tendency to be slightly furry, brown or grey spiders that run after their prey. They have long sturdy legs and good vision from two of their eight enlarged eyes. The abundant wolf spiders forage on the ground or in the lower parts of plants at night. Female wolf spiders carry light-colored, spherical egg sacs attached to their pinnerets.
Once hatched, the spiderlings cling to hairs on their mother's abdomen for about a week. When you go out at night, look at the ground in front of you with a flashlight held next to your head at the same level as your eyes. You can see many silvery blue-green spots reflecting back at you from the eyes of numerous wolf spiders in the grass."
Some of the comments from Facebook.com/WBEN930:
Kill It....
I would have burned the house down with the spider in it. That thing is huge!
Yikes! I'm arachnaphobic!
Our niece has serious medical problems from a brown recluse bite. Multiple surgeries. I'd kill it.
Only good spider is a dead one!
Kill it i saw a few of these wood spiders at my house it needs to die!!
Let it go in Nikki Minaj's wig. Once she starts talking it will die of annoyance. That way you can rest easy without the mess.
Or Let it Live..
It's a Skeeter Eater... LET IT LIVE!
Spiders are the best thing for your garden. Smart Lady
Only kill it if you're going to eat it of course.
If you have time to catch, you have time to free it outside.
Why are y'all so kill happy, there is nothing to be afraid of they don't want you!
What if you were that spider? Would you want a person 100 times bigger than you to kill you

PetRelocation.com recently released the results of its first Holiday Pet Travel Survey of more than 7,000 pet owners worldwide. Sixty-three percent said they travel at least 50 miles with their pets during the holidays.
In some states, seat belts are mandatory for dogs. From a safety perspective, unrestrained pets are responsible for more than 30,000 accidents every year according to the ASPCA.
Here are some tips for safer pet travel this holiday season.
Vaccination records
Keep a copy of all vaccination records in your dog's duffel bag. Should an emergency arise once you are on the road, you will have the important information you need. You will also need these records when boarding Fido for the day or overnight if you take an excursion where your furry companion is not allowed.
Collar and leash
Remember that taking Fido out of the car for potty breaks must include his collar and leash being secured and poop bags. A foreign territory brings unique smells that are hard to resist, and your dog can escape before you can say, "Sit, stay."
Consider a safety harness when traveling. The back seat is the safest place for a dog to avoid air bag deployment in the event of an accident. Acclimate Fido to the harness by allowing him to wear the harness around the house for a few minutes at a time. Graduate to short car trips in the area. Work into longer trips and never scold Fido in the process. He's getting used to it just as you are.
A good harness should have strong webbing such as nylon, strong stitching, should allow the pet to sit and stand comfortably and should be both comfortable and reliable if an accident occurs.
Fido won't want to get lost, so be sure that he has a current tag with an emergency phone number firmly attached to his collar or harness. Most people travel with a cell phone, making this the perfect number for your dog's tag.
First aid kit
There are a number of doggy first aid kits on the market, and if you have the time, you can even put together your own. Some essentials to include are tweezers to remove ticks, styptic powder to stop toenail bleeding, eye wash to flush wounds, gauze bandages, adhesive tape, scissors and antiseptic moist wipes.
Food and water
Be sure to bring along Fido's favorite food so as not to upset his stomach. There are great roadworthy foods and treats on the market. If you will be cooking for Fido, make the food ahead of time and pack it along with your own goodies. Your dog is used to drinking water from your hometown, and when traveling it's a good idea to bring along as much of Fido's drinking water as you can, and rely on bottled water as back-up. Nothing puts the damper on holiday spirits like an emergency visit to the vet.
Seat covers and blankets
Protect your seats from muddy paws with covers and blankets made especially for your type of automobile. Always carry additional towels and wipes to clean off your rambunctious Rover when visiting with family and friends.
Beds and crate
Don't leave home without Fido's favorite blankie or bed. You don't want him sleeping on the guest bed—or do you? Bring sheets, too, so if your furry companion is accustomed to sleeping on the furniture, he won't leave any tell-tale signs. If Fido calls his crate his den, then bring it along for a good night sleep during your Thanksgiving trip.
Fun stuff
Don't forget the toys! If Fido is nervous when away from home, help ease his discomfort by bringing as many toys from home as you can. Familiar smells and chew toys will help calm even the most anxious pet. If your dog is a music hound, by all means pack his favorite CD for his and your listening pleasure.
Double-check hotel reservations
You are ready to go—but before you back the mini-van out of the driveway, call your hotel to confirm your reservation and that they are expecting Fido. Nothing says bummer like a newly implemented "no pets allowed" policy since you made your reservation.
